We have in the ward a young man Issac Kain, who works for the American Embassy. He is 32 years old and was called to be the Elder's Quorum President. He is a very nice kid and I quite like him. Last week we took a pair of sisters who were going home to his house for dinner. While there I saw a fifteen inch piranha in his house. He told me he got it in Manuaus and that he was going to Manuaus the next week. Well he brought it back with him and I now have a 15 in. Piranha. Way cool. And now for the rest of the story. Our bishop has been having problems with depression and has not been out to church much in the last year. Some of it has been he had to work on Sunday but a lot of it has been depression. The Stake President knew that something had to be done but told us in High Priest Group that Salt Lake was taking a long time approving the name. They had to wait. Well last Sunday the whole Stake Presidency was at our meeting. Word was out that the name had been approved and we would get a new Bishop. Everyone was guessing who it was going to be. My bets were on the High Priest Group leader. He also works for the American Embassy. The church does not like to make Americans bishops but it has been done in the past. Well the time comes for the Stake President to call the new Bishop. He names Issac Kain, our young Elder's Quorum President. Everyone was shocked. Not that he was not worthy, but that he was so young and had just been called to be Elder's Pres. He got up and said that he was the last one who he would have thought of. But he is a good young man and will do a good job because he is so humble. I am really looking forward to his being Bishop. The Stake President said that SLC had turned him down because he was an American, and so young. Well the Stake President held his ground and SLC approved. We have such a good Stake President. While I talked to the Stake President I asked him if he had heard any thing about me, he stated that he had not. But it was also announced that a temple will be built in Manuaus. That is great.
